Because his company was one of Protogen's major suppliers prior to the Eros incident, Mao and his wife were eager to recover their daughter Julie, who had become estranged and left Luna for the Belt to join the OPA, to save her from the war. Mao used his power and status as a shareholder in Star Helix Security to make them find her, kidnap her and send her back to Mao Station. This job fell on Captain Shaddid, head of the police force on Ceres, where Julie lived. She put Detective Miller on the case, who was ultimately unsuccessful.

During the aftermath of the Eros incident, Mao and his company argued they didn't know what their equipment was used for, and no evidence was found to implicate them.
